Hi all,
first of all: I know practically nothing about MTBs....
Back in 1993 me and my friends was hooked on biking and I bought a KHS Montana Pro that I have used ever since (and always loved it), but in the last 10 years only for transportation.
Last year both weels was stolen after i was stupid enough to only secure the frame.
Now I would like to get it back on the road but the local bicycle repair men are all saying that fitting parts are not possible to get and that I should scrap it. I find that hard to believe and scraping it just dont seem like an option to mee.
So I turn to you guys for help. The bike is fitted with original equipment, so I need some advice on what kind of wheels I can put on it. The local repair men claimed it was impossible to get weels that would fit with the 21 speed XT shifter on the frame. Could this be true? I realize that my bike is 17 years old, but still..
regards
JohanJ
